Tips

Multi-Model Comparison

Cherry Studio supports using multiple models to answer the same question simultaneously, making it great for comparing output quality:

  1. Select multiple models in the chat interface
  2. Send your question
  3. View and compare responses from each model

Knowledge Base

Combined with Cherry Studio’s knowledge base feature, you can implement RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation):

  1. Create a knowledge base and upload documents
  2. Enable the knowledge base in conversations
  3. The model will answer based on your documents

Cherry Studio’s knowledge base feature requires the Embeddings API. OfoxAI supports embedding models like openai/text-embedding-3-small.

FAQ

Q: Model list doesn’t auto-load

Cherry Studio requires manually adding model names. See the Model Catalog for the complete list of model IDs.

Q: Image analysis not available

Make sure you’ve selected a model that supports vision (e.g. openai/gpt-4o, google/gemini-3-flash-preview).
